Bags prices go u


United Airlines is hiking bag fees and passengers will be charged $25 for the first checked bag and $35 for the second checked bag. Online users will be charged $23 for first checked bags and $32 for second checked bags. Airlines basically stole a whopping $740 million in baggage fees in the 3rd quarter of 2009. This is where I think these airlines are pulling all their money by charging outrageous prices just to check a stupid bag. I can be unfair to the passengers by being forced to spend so much money on baggage checking.

Good Job inmates

From Dominic Wysosic

An inmate at a prison (not named) attacked a guard that was on duty. He punched him repeatedly in the face and then took him in a chokehold. Then, out of the blue another inmate rushed in and took out the attacker. As if that wasn't enough, two more came in to the rescue. One grabs the radio sitting on the desk and calls for backup. The other tries to separate the original attacker and the guard. Undoubtedly, they saved the guards life.

I think these men that saved the guards life have done a wonderful deed. They better get another court review because they should most likely get off early for good behabiovor. They have been put into jail for attempted murder, assault and battery, and theft. Yet, they still had the good in them to save the guard. I feel they deserve a huge pat on the back and possibly early release for good behavior.

The Jamaica Plane Crash!! from Brian Eipperle

http://http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34566869/ns/world_news-americas/

From Brain Eipperle

A Jet over shot a runway in Jamaica, and more than forty people were taken to the hospital. They said it might be becasue of the heavy rain that Jamaica was experiencing during the event. the Engines were ripped off and the fuslage was ripped off. Also, during the actual flight the plane experienced a lot of tubulence which might have damaged the plane.

this is a weird storey. All planes experiecne tubulence all the time and if that plane can't handle it, i would never ride on it at all, and it should never been flownk. this seems to happen quite a bit, where planes have nechanical issues. I would think that with how long planes have been around that this wouldn't really happen as often. Hopefully all of these people are okay, and nobody diessss!!!!!

Schools with Child Abuse??

In 2002, a 14 year old special education student in Texas was killed because his teacher was holding him in a face down restraint, even though the child was repeatedly saying that he couldn't breathe. Minutes later he died on the classroom floor. Within the last 20 years, their have been many cases of things like this. Resulting in emotional scarring, and sometimes even death. The root of our problem is our failure to provide direction and reinforcement.

I think that this should not be that difficult of a problem to fix. Its common sense when it comes to a child abuse. But I'm sure that when special ed teachers are getting frustrated with their students, they don't think through what they are doing, and I'm sure they regret their decisions later. Also they may have had to hold down the student because they were having a emotional break down and throwing things and acting like a little kid because that is all they know, they don't know any better. But it shouldn't be that hard watch the teachers and tell them and advise them on what they need to change or they will change the teacher, it is that simple.

tiger woods

After the state patrolmen and other high way workers were not able to get a statement from Woods they found it very unusual. Tiger Wood's, the proffesional golfer, had supposively slammed into a fire hydrent and the end of his driveway and then smashed into a neighbors tree. He was found semi-concious on the ground. The police came to investiagate why Tiger had crashed at around 2 in the morning on Thanksgiving but on their way to his house his agent said "come back tomorow!" Wood's wife was worried about him and smashed in a rear mirror to her car saying "it was locked" The police report says it is not alchohol related.


I think media needs to leave him alone. His is a well respected man that just wants his privacy. He has shown he's a good person and great golfer. I hope his situation dies down quickly so he can go back to living normally. I believe Tiger has a reason for what happened and it is his choice to share it or not. All he legally has to do is prove he has a valid drivers license. I hope all gets better for him!

2016 Olympics in Chicago??

Obama plans trip to Denmark to seek Olympics


On CNN this week, President Obama is traveling to Denmark to try to make a push to have the 2016 summer olympics in Chicago Illinois. Obama along with his wife and several other administrators are the first ever to go to a IOC vote. Other sites that Chicago is competing against are Rio De Janeiro, Madrid, and Tokyo. They're expected to to make an appearance at the IOC vote.

I think it would be great to hold the summer olympics in Chicago. We need this event back in the United States. It has been awhile since the U.S. has gotten big taste of the Olympics. If Obama would end up inspring the International Olympic Company to have the games in Chicago, He would go down in history for being the first president ever to actually show up at the IOC meetings, let alone persuade them to have the games here. Obama would quickly become a favorite among the sports fans out there, along with the athletes from the U.S., and their families. But should we really be hosting a game with our econimy or will it be fixed by then, and will we even get it here. These are many great question and we will just have to wait and find out, what happens.

Four police officers shot dead in a Coffee Shop

Occording to CNN, sunday morning around 8 a.m. before they were going to start there shift, they were working on a case or paper work. On there laptops, a man walks into the Coffee Shop and fires and kills all four police officer. Nobody else was hurt, but was in shock. the man escaped on foot and as of now has not been found but they are investagting possible places. Seeing if he went to any hospital or other places. They have set a perimitor around the coffee shop searching everywhere possible.



It is shocking that someone would kill 4 cops, there was no threat to the cops before this crime. For some one to do this big of a crime must be mentally screwed up and once found, cause it isn't a question with todays technoligy. He will get one of the biggest punishment there is. Once caught he will not be on the street anymore for his life. This is a big shocker and to see how fast the people around them are acting on this shows us how prepared we are.
